There is no one way to salvation, whatever the manner in which a man may proceed. All forms and variations are governed by the eternal intelligence of the Universe that enables a man to approach perfection. It may be in the arts of music and painting or it may be in commerce, law, or medicine. It may be in the study of war or the study of peace. Each is as important as any other. Spiritual enlightenment through religious meditation such as Zen or in any other way is as viable and functional as any "Way."... A person should study as they see fit.

Become acquainted with every art.

Think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world

The Way is in training... Do nothing which is not of value.

Do not regret what you have done

See to it that you temper yourself with one thousand days of practice, and refine yourself with ten thousand days of training.

You may abandon your own body but you must preserve your honour.
